One idea would be to run over to home depot and pick up a closet auger (see picture). Use this tool to push through the tablet and then try pulling back forcefully to remove...

I would prefer to see you remove this instead of dissolve it as it may dissolve only slightly and then fall further into the toilet or even the main drain line and cause more issues for you.

Have you tried to just reach in and remove the tablet...?

Let me know what you think...

Break it up into little pieces with a closet auger,(see image) and either pick it out of the bowl or flush it away. Good luck, Tom We did it agai! Posted on top of each other. We got to stop meeting like this!
